This is part of where the Bebop style of Jazz came from. Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie helped revolutionize the Jazz world with their new style of bebop. Take a historical trip back to 1952 enjoy some great Jazz music. Charlie Parker sounded great in the Jazz video, but Dizzy Gillespie was definitely more melodic in his trumpet playing. In my opinion, most of the time less notes and more simplicity always pleases the crowds more.
This recording took place before Dizzy Gillespie decided to bend his trumpet bell up closer to his ear.
The chord changes for The Song Is You are pretty difficult. Listen how easily Ryan Kisor takes a ride over these chord changes while making beautiful melodies at a pretty fast speed. When I first heard this Jazz trumpet solo I was very impressed. If you are interested in purchasing this album, the name of it is Kisor II album. I don’t know why they called it that, but it’s good Jazz trumpet music and there are a lot of trumpet licks to take advantage of in this recording.
